Abstract

Tooth infraction is usually of three types 1) confined to enamel (craze lines) and usually do not require
treatment 2) related to cuspal fracture that typically do not involve pulp 3) more centrally located that do
involve the pulp. Vertical root fracture (VRF) are longitudinal fracture that originate in root of teeth in
contrast to tooth infraction that originate in the crown. VRF occurs usually in endodontically treated teeth.
This case report represent tooth infraction originating in the tooth crown on the distal marginal ridge and
propagating into the pulp chamber and DEJ(dentino enamel junction). Root canal treatment was performed
and in a 7 month follow up period, there was a remarkable improvement in the supporting periodontal
structures with bone deposition/remodelling in the crestal and furcation area/region and patient was quite
satisfied with the treatment outcome.
